In other words: if you apply the GFDL to your text, you have to include
the text of the GFDL /as part of your work/. I don't see the text of the
GFDL anywhere on your reference card. Not that it would make sense to
actually do this, but according to the letter of the GFDL, you're still
required to do so.
Apart from that, and after long discussion, the GFDL has been deemed not
DFSG-free by the participators of the debian-legal mailinglist. Surely
you wouldn't want to write a reference card about Debian which could not
be distributed by Debian itself?
